tsplink.readbit
Function Reads the state of a TSP-Link synchronization line.
Usage
data = tsplink.readbit(N)
data
N
Remarks Returns a value of 0 if the line is low and a 1 if the line is high.
Details See "TSP-Link Synchronization lines"
Also see tsplink.readbit, tsplink.readport, tsplink.writebit.
Example
--Assume line 3 is set high, and it is then read:
data = tsplink.readbit(3)
print(data)
Output: 1.000000e+00
tsplink.readport
Function Reads the TSP-Link synchronization lines as a digital I/O port.
Usage
data = tsplink.readport()
Remarks The binary equivalent of the returned value indicates the input pattern on the I/O
least significant bit of the binary number corresponds to line 1 and bit 3 corresponds to line
3. For example, a returned value of 2 has a binary equivalent of 010. Line 2 is high (1), and
the other 2 lines are low (0).
Details See "TSP-Link Synchronization lines"
Also see tsplink.readbit, tsplink.writebit, and
Example Assume line 2 is set high, and the digio I/O port reads:
data = tsplink.readport()
print(data)
Output: 2.000000e+00
tsplink.reset
Function Initializes (resets) all nodes (instruments) in the TSP-Link system.
Usage
tsplink.reset()
Remarks
This function will erase all knowledge of other nodes connected on the TSP-Link and will
regenerate the system configuration. This function must be called at least once before any
remote nodes can be accessed. If the node number for any instrument is changed, the
TSP-Link must again be initialized.
Details See Section 9

Replace N with the number of the synchronization line: 1 to 3.

synchronization line.
